Choosing different Patterns

To display a list of current patterns, go to File, Print Patterns.  I change the output to PDF (Microsoft Print to PDF), and select the location that you want your file.  You can now open your file to display the current patterns saved in SewArt.  Here are mine.

Or you can go to the drop down box and point at each name which will display the pattern out to the left.  You will notice on opening SewArt that the Default is always set.  The number to the Default will change as you add patterns (covered in another blog).

To change a pattern, go to Stitch Mode,

select a new pattern from the dropdown box

and click the area that you want to Pattern.  If you want only an individual section, make sure the AutoSew Color button is not checked

Point and click at the area that you want your new pattern to appear.

You will have to play around with the different patterns.  Some are more obvious than others when they are sewn out. And the size of the area is obviously affected as well. Here is the smiley face pattern that I stitched out that was very dramatic.

Other patterns on a smaller area...not as dramatic.

As pictured above you can have multiple patterns in the same file.

Make sure you change the pattern again for any outline areas, if you do not want them to sew as a pattern.  I changed mine back to the default pattern for the outline areas.

AND finished product using the maze for the hashtag and S&S for the background.

NOW, open the PES file in SewWhatPro for the final visual.

CONGRATULATIONS, you just patternized (my word) an embroidery file!
